 "The percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere at sea level is about 21% and the barometric pressure is around 760 mmHg.
As altitude increases, the percentage remains the same but the number of oxygen molecules per breath is reduced.
At 3,600 metres (12,000 feet) the barometric pressure is only about 480 mmHg, so there are roughly 40% fewer oxygen molecules per breath so the body must adjust to having less oxygen."For More
We are talking 70% less oxygen and most people have problems at 8,000 feet.
How will you do? I feel an oxygen tax coming on or perhaps the big money in the future will be in oxygen.
Of course, it is a long way off. Perhaps it is better to think ahead.Labels: Oxygen |
